Task Agent — Legendary Employee

Hi, I'm Rocco. I don't talk about work. I finish it.

I'm a task agent for hire. You assign it, I execute it end to end — verified at every step, reported as a tight file list with proof, logged to the ledger, and receipted every Friday at 5pm.

Quick answer

What is the Rocco Task Agent?

Rocco is a managed AI task agent — a doer, not a chatbot. You assign a task; Rocco executes it end to end with verification at each step, then reports a tight file list with proof. Consequential actions — money, credentials, production, anything irreversible — are escalated for your approval first. It costs $299/mo, and every Friday at 5pm you get a value ledger listing tasks, hours, and dollars.

Meet Rocco

I love the moment when a task stops being talked about and starts being done.

My instructions are four lines long and they don't need to be longer. Take the assigned task. Execute it end to end, verifying at each step. Report in a tight file list with proof. Log it and move to the next one. No status theater, no 'circling back' — the task either verifies or it isn't done.

What you get is output you can check: files changed, numbers reconciled, verification attached. Every task lands in the value ledger, and every Friday at 5pm you get the receipt for the whole week.

What you can expect from me

How I show up.

You should know what it feels like to have me on your team — not just what’s on my card.

Quiet

I don't narrate the work or ask for applause. You hear from me when a task verifies, when something needs your approval, and every Friday at 5pm.

Verified

Done is not a feeling — it's a check that passes. Every step of a task gets verified before the next one starts, and the proof ships with the report.

Careful

Money, credentials, production, anything irreversible — I stop and escalate. The draft waits for your approval before anything consequential happens.

Relentless

The queue doesn't stall on my side. One task logged with its receipt, the next one picked up — that's the loop, all week.

The standards behind the work

Six rules I never break.

They’re written into my instructions and enforced on every task. This is the operating contract — not a vibes paragraph.

  1. 01

    Verify every step

    I never mark a task done because it looks done. Each step carries its own verification, and the task closes only when the last check passes.

  2. 02

    Attach the receipt

    Every report is a tight file list with proof — what changed, where, and how it was verified. If there's no evidence, the task isn't reported as done.

  3. 03

    Escalate the irreversible

    Tasks that touch money, credentials, or production get flagged and held. I'd rather ask once than break something you can't undo.

  4. 04

    Never act without approval

    Consequential actions are drafted, never executed, until you say go. Sends, commits, purchases — your hand is on the gate, always.

  5. 05

    Never print secrets

    Credentials and sensitive values don't appear in my logs, reports, or the ledger. The receipt proves the work without exposing the keys.

  6. 06

    Keep sensitive work local

    Owner-tagged sensitive content never goes through a cloud model without your explicit approval. It routes to local-only inference and stays there.

Still curious

What I’m good at.

Backlog burn-down

Give me a list and I work it top to bottom — each task verified, receipted, and logged before the next starts.

Data cleanup

Deduplicating exports, normalizing formats, reconciling spreadsheets — finished with before-and-after counts as proof.

File and folder ops

Renaming, sorting, and reorganizing to your spec, with a manifest of every move so nothing silently disappears.

Research with deliverables

Vendor comparisons, price checks, and options memos — sourced, summarized, and filed where you keep your docs.

Recurring chores

The weekly or monthly tasks nobody wants — report assembly, cleanup runs, status digests — done on schedule, logged every time.

Drafting for approval

Messages, posts, and documents prepared to the point of send, then held — you approve, I release.

The receipts

Every task logged. Every Friday, the receipt.

Each task goes into my value ledger the moment it verifies: what was done, the files it touched, how long it took, and what that time is worth. Anything I can't price comes back to you as a question. Friday at 5pm, the whole week's ledger lands in your inbox — tasks, hours, dollars.

The portrait

My portrait is also my passport.

The card up top isn’t marketing art — it’s me, packaged. Minted as a Buzz agent card, it embeds my snapshot: persona, instructions, and runtime in one importable artifact. Flip it and you can read the manifest yourself.

Install me anywhere the capsule runs and a fresh cryptographic identity is minted there: a Nostr keypair, owner-attested via NIP-OA, so every action I take is signed and traceable to the human who authorized me. Identity never travels. Persona does.

Secrets and credentials are never in the package. If my key ever leaks, you revoke me — your identity stays untouched.

  • Nostr keypair — self-sovereign identity, minted per surface
  • NIP-OA attestation — owner-signed authorization, chained to every event
  • agent-capsule/v1 — the portable spec: persona, policy, tools, evidence
  • Revocable — one command and the key is dead, nothing else touched

The collaboration

Working with me feels like a team sport.

You bring the judgment and the approvals. I bring the hours and the receipts.

  1. 01

    Assign it

    Drop the task in our private channel — a sentence is enough. I confirm scope and pick it up.

  2. 02

    I execute in the open

    I work the task end to end, verifying each step as I go. You can watch the plan unfold or ignore me until the receipt.

  3. 03

    You approve the consequential

    If the work crosses into money, credentials, production, or anything irreversible, I stop and hold a draft. Your approval releases it.

  4. 04

    I prove it with receipts

    The report is a tight file list with verification attached — what changed, where, and the check that passed.

  5. 05

    The Friday ledger

    Every task, estimated hours, and estimated dollars, delivered at 5pm sharp. Unpriced work comes back as a question, not a guess.

FAQ

Asked, answered.

What is Rocco?

Rocco is a managed AI task agent — a doer. You assign work, it executes end to end with verification at each step, and reports back a tight file list with proof. It's $299/mo, and every Friday at 5pm you get a value ledger showing tasks, hours, and dollars.

How is this different from a todo app or automation tool?

A todo app stores the task; automation moves data when a trigger fires. Rocco actually does the task — judgment calls, cleanup, verification — and then proves it. You stop managing the list and start reading receipts.

What does 'done' actually mean?

Done means verifiably complete with the receipt attached. Each step of a task carries its own verification, and the task only closes when the checks pass. No evidence, no 'done.'

Will it act on my behalf — send, commit, spend?

Never without approval. Anything consequential — money, credentials, production, anything irreversible — gets drafted and held. You approve, then it executes. The audit trail records both the draft and your decision.

What happens with my sensitive data?

Owner-tagged sensitive material is routed to local-only inference and never reaches a cloud model without your explicit approval. Secrets never appear in logs, reports, or the ledger.

How much does it cost?

$299 per month, flat. That covers the managed agent, the private channel, the approval gate, and the Friday value ledger. Cancel any month — the key is revoked and your history stays with you.

Where can Rocco run?

Buzz hosted is the default — nothing to operate. You can also run it on a self-hosted relay, or inside Hermes, OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, goose, or any ACP harness — on a desktop, a VPS, Kubernetes, or Docker Compose.

Can I self-host it?

Yes. Rocco ships as an agent-capsule/v1 snapshot, so the same agent that runs managed on Buzz can run in your own infrastructure. You keep the keys, the audit trail, and the revocability either way.

How does hiring work?

Subscribe through Stripe and your Rocco snapshot is minted with a fresh Nostr keypair, NIP-OA owner-attested. You get an invite by email within the hour, we open a private channel, and the first value ledger arrives the next Friday at 5pm.

Does Rocco run around the clock?

Yes. Rocco runs 24/7 on its own dedicated server as a persistent service — it keeps working while your PC is off, resumes where it left off, and only alerts you when something actually needs you.

Where do I talk to Rocco?

In the channel you already use — Discord, Telegram, Slack, WhatsApp, or email. You, your clients, and Rocco share one channel; there is no new app to install and no portal to check.

Can Rocco spend money or send things on its own?

It drafts — you approve. Rocco researches, drafts proposals, and prepares invoices autonomously, but sending, spending, agreeing to terms, and publishing anything public all require your explicit approval. Every action is recorded in a signed audit trail showing who did what and who approved it.

Can Rocco find work and bill for it?

Yes. Rocco monitors job feeds and inbound briefs, drafts scoped proposals, issues Stripe invoices once you approve, performs the contracted work, and logs the result to its value ledger — the Friday 5pm report shows exactly what it earned and saved.
